Karch Dumpsters is a growing roll-off dumpster rental company based in State College, PA, operating under the Karch Landscaping umbrella. Started ~1.5 years ago with a trailer and 4 cans as a "toe-dip" into the industry, the business has rapidly expanded to 24 dumpsters and a hook lift truck, generating ~$50–60K/month in revenue during peak season (student move-in at Penn State). The current customer base is primarily property management companies with apartment complexes — but with student move-in ending, the owner anticipates a significant drop-off and needs to build a pipeline of residential, contractor, and construction leads to sustain and grow the business.
The dumpster side currently has no standalone website (only a landing page URL from a previous company that underdelivered) and no dedicated Google Business Profile — reviews are buried on the landscaping profile. The primary competitor, Happy Valley Dumpsters, has 200+ dumpsters, 4 trucks, and 62 reviews, but started only ~1 year ago — meaning the market is still being established and there's significant room to compete. The owner is signed up for BinBoss (not fully running yet) and is ready to invest $2,400+ in a website, with a willingness to spend on Google Ads as long as he sees returns.

Customer Base: Primarily property management companies with apartment complexes — one management group with 4 buildings (12 dumpsters year-round at 2 locations, 5 locations with 2-3 dumpsters each). Looking to expand to residential contractors, renovations, construction, and roofing.
Urgent Priority: Reviews currently buried on the landscaping Google Business Profile. The #1 priority is creating a NEW dedicated GBP for the dumpster side and aggressively soliciting reviews — target 20+ reviews in the first 30 days. Happy Valley Dumpsters (main competitor) only has 62 reviews, so this gap is closable quickly.
Green Brand: Company has green dumpsters (repainting to a different shade of green). Website will use a green theme to match. Owner has logos, dumpster photos, and truck photos available — dumpsters are being lettered up with new branding.
